Chapter 120: They Were Kind To Us

Leo looked at the Duskwood princess with a charming smile before answering, ’’Yes it is crazy but expected as the Demons are worried about my growing power.’’

Agatha smiled in response as Roxy explained everything that was happening. ’’Everyone else is sleeping. It has been a hectic few days, but all the harem is here and resting since it’s late. Octavia and Amara have taken the actions of the empire hard and need some reassurance.’’

When Leo heard this, he nodded. ’’I see,’’ he mumbled, his voice tinged with regret. ’’I understand, and I’m sorry for causing trouble for you girls. It was never my intention, but the Demons attacked me so I had no other chance.’’

’’Don’t worry about it, babe,’’ Roxy responded in a sweet voice, as she grabbed his hand and dragged him into the treehouse. ’’Everyone wants to be here, including Ashley and Helena, but I have to admit Marcus and Dorian went crazy when they vanished.’’

Leo chuckled when hearing that before sitting down as Agatha went to make some tea as he relaxed in front of the fireplace. He closed his eyes and started resting until he felt someone kissing his neck.

A shiver ran down his spine, but he had the tanned beauty closer, which made her giggle while hugging him tightly. Soon enough, she started nibbling the bottom of his ear, causing him to smile.

’’What are you doing Rox?’’ he asked while squeezing her soft ass.

The blonde leaned back with a knowing smile on her pretty face as she answered, ’’I want to pamper you and make sure you’re not stressed for our journey north.’’

’’North?’’ Leo questioned with a raised eyebrow.

Roxy giggled with sparkling green eyes, ’’Are you not going to deal with the Demons?’’ she asked in a curious voice.

’Oh, that’s what she meant,’ he mused before answering, ’’Yes. I will beat any opponent that comes against me until I reach their queen, who I’ll make mine, then turn south to get revenge on the Duskwood Empire.’’

When the tanned beauty heard this, she giggled, which was like music to his ears, ’’Sounds good to me, we can stay in here and train thanks to the empress and Amara.’’

Following that, Roxy started kissing him once again before the two started having passionate sex, which Agatha quickly joined as Leo took the two beautiful girls back to his bedroom to have fun with them.

He had his way with them for hours as they made their way back to the bedroom. Once the two girls were out cold, with pleased smiles on their faces, he left the room to go see his knights.

For hours, he made love to the whole harem; they were surprised but receptive. By the time Leo was done with them all, he was sitting on a balcony overlooking the Domain which made him relax.

While sitting there, Ava Thompson, the ice queen from his class, stepped outside only to be shocked when she saw him sitting there relaxing. ’’Oh sorry, I didn’t know you were out here,’’ she quickly explained.

Leo turned to the black-haired girl before motioning for a nearby chair. ’’Sit down and get comfortable. I was just admiring the scenery.’’

She smiled and sat down while speaking, ’’Thank you.’’

The two of them sat in silence until Ava looked at him with her big green eyes before asking in a curious tone, ’’What happened back at the empire? Why were they trying to attack you?’’

’’Because I attacked a fortress full of Demons,’’ Leo explained, his expression weary. ’’After that, the Demons fabricated a video showing their soldiers as humans, convincing the empire and its nobles that I had massacred their people.’’

He paused, his tone flat but resolute. ’’Honestly, I don’t care about that. I was planning to turn on them eventually, anyway.’’

Ava’s eyes widened before a confused expression appeared on her beautiful face, but she shook her head and questioned, ’’Why would you do that? They were kind to us.’’

Leo chuckled when hearing that as he revealed a truth that shocked her. ’’The empire would have turned against us all once we defeated the Demons. It’s the natural thing to do instead of having a dozen powerful people running around causing trouble.’’

’’How do you know this?’’ she responded with a worried expression.

’’The look in the emperor’s eyes whenever he spoke to us,’’ Leo revealed before taking out some ale and downing some. ’’It was like Dorian was happy to have us, but something else was there. Greed and hate, which makes me suspect that the empire has other plans for us.’’

When Ava heard this, she agreed with a worried nod before asking, ’’What about the others who stayed behind?’’

’’I will free them after taking Duskwood for myself,’’ Leo answered while offering some ale to the black-haired girl. ’’Here, take some. I think you’ll like it.’’

She glanced at the bottle, then accepted it with a sweet smile. ’’I could use a drink,’’ she said softly. ’’Things have been so chaotic these past few days.’’

Leo nodded in agreement, and the duo began drinking together as the first rays of the sun crept over the horizon. The golden light spilled across the sky, illuminating the Domain in a warm, serene glow.

While sitting there, he spotted a group of Blood Ants traveling past the treehouse looking for other monsters to hunt. His eyes widened as the creatures were much stronger than when he let them loose.

’Imagine what they would be like in a few months?’ he mused with a satisfied smile. ’Maybe I can buy some more to fill this place up with even more. I’ll do it later when I feel like it.’

Following that, he noticed Ava was smiling while watching a flock of birds flying past the treehouse. She suddenly stood up and stretched before speaking. ’’I’m going to lie down. It was nice speaking to you.’’

He dismissed the black-haired girl with a casual wave before setting his sights on a bold journey through the Elven Empire to reach the Demonic lands. The thought of finally venturing beyond the confines of the human realm ignited a spark of excitement in him.

’After exploring, I will conquer the continent for myself and defeat all the people Dorian sends against me,’ he thought with an excited expression.

As Leo stepped through the shimmering portal, an untamed jungle unfolded before his eyes, brimming with the raw energy of nature. Wasting no time, Leo launched himself into the air, weaving skillfully through the dense canopy.

His senses were sharp, scanning the shadows of the foliage for any lurking monsters that might attack him. Leo continued flying but soon came to a stop when spotted massive ants lumbering through the underbrush.

’Should I follow them? They are interesting,’ he pondered.

Leo shrugged and started trailing behind the giant monsters for a few hours, until the monsters entered a massive nest. This caught his interest as a thought popped into his head, ’Maybe I could capture these creatures? They could be useful in the upcoming war.’

With his mind made up, he stepped into the sprawling ant colony. Almost immediately, a message flickered into view. [Be careful, Chosen. These are Fighting Ants, formidable creatures known for wreaking havoc throughout the Elven Empire]

The dark tunnels of the colony stretched endlessly before Leo, their walls glistening with a resin-like substance. He quickly noticed the air was thick, carrying the sharp tang of pheromones that made his head throb, but he ignored it.

’I can smell death. They must drag their food through here,’ he pondered while readying his magic.

Each step he took echoed faintly, blending with the distant skittering of countless legs. His senses are on high alert. Shadows danced in the faint glow of fungi scattered along the walls, occasionally revealing hulking Fighting Ants patrolling the passages.

One crossed his path, a massive creature with serrated mandibles that clicked. Leo froze, holding his breath, until it moved on, disappearing into another tunnel. Navigating deeper, he dodged worker ants scurrying to and from chambers filled with glittering eggs.

A sharp turn led him into a cavern where warriors sparred, their movements precise and lethal. He clung to the shadows, careful not to draw their attention, before slipping past unnoticed.

Finally, the tunnel widened into a grand chamber. Massive columns of resin rose to the ceiling, and in the center sat the Queen’s throne, a pulsating mass surrounded by a ring of elite guards.

The air vibrated with an almost tangible aura of power, and Leo knew he had reached the colony’s core. As he stepped into the vast chamber, a deafening screech tore through the air, emanating from a colossal beast at the center.

It was a primal call to arms, and almost instantly, a wave of creatures surged toward him, their collective rage threatening to engulf him. Without wasting time, Leo started casting Thunderbolts and Fireballs into the horde.
